intro/refrain:
SOLsus2/FA SOLsus2/MI
So open up your morn-ing light and
SOLsus2/RE SOLsus2/DO
say a little prayer for I. You know that
SOLsus2/FA SOLsus2/MI
if we are to stay alive, then
SOLsus2/RE SOLsus2/DO
see the peace in every eye.
SOL(add2)
Du du du, etc.
DO6/
Du du du, etc.
verse:
SOL(add2)
She had two babies,
DO6(add2)/SOL
one was six months, one was three
DO6/
in the war of forty four.
SOL(add2)
Every telephone ring, every heartbeat stinging when she
MIm7 RE DOmaj9
thought it was God calling her. Oh, would
MIm RE6 DO(add9)
her son grow to know his father?
chorus
SOL(add2) RE(add4)/FA#
I don't want to wait for our
MIm11 REsus
lives to be over I
DO6 SOL(add9)/SI
want to know right now, what will it
REsus/LA REsus
be?
(repeat)
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
Will it be yes, or will it be sorry?
SOL(add2)
Du du du du du
DO6/
Du du du du du
verse two:
(repeat verse one chords)
He showed up all wet on the rainy front step
wearing shrapnel in his skin.
And the war he saw linves inside him still.
It's so hard to be gentle and warm.
The years pass by and now he has granddaughters
chorus
bridge:
SOL7(add4)
Oh, so you look at me from across the room. You're
LAm9b13
wearing your anguish again. Believe
SIb(add2)
me, I know the feeling; it
FAsus DO(add9)
sucks you into the jaws of anger.
SOL7(add4)
Oh, so breath a little more deeply, my love. All we
LAm9b13
have is this very moment
SIb(add2)
and I don't want to do what his father and his father and
FAsus SOLsus2
his fater did. I want to be here now.
